I am the Lord of the Gods in the foggy world

If I remember correctly, the circuit pattern she created based on her feelings at that time should have been obtained from that mysterious fragment. Thinking about it this way, the origin of that fragment becomes even more precious.

When [Cup] put it into the Federation, Xu Zhi originally thought that he just wanted to rely on it to open the passage between midnight and the real world. Now that he thinks about it, maybe he also has the intention of hiding the fragment?

I just don’t know where the god of [Cup] got this fragment.

Although Xu Zhi had some guesses about the origin of the fragment, she couldn't be 100% sure. If it was as she guessed, the god of [Cup] would definitely find her and try to get the fragment back.

But now the fragments have completely integrated with her and become her flesh and blood. According to [Cup]'s style, if he catches her, he will probably find a way to smelt her body, or devour her and inherit the fragments.

No matter what it is, until now, no one knows the strangeness of the circuit in her body, and she doesn't intend to reveal it to anyone.

"Anyone else want to say?"

She asked again, and the researchers who were suspended in the air by the little aliens all spoke up and said they had something to say. However, when Xu Zhi emphasized that if the words he spoke were repetitive or useless, she would kill the person immediately, most of them were intimidated. But he was still begging for mercy, begging Xu Zhi to let him go.

Xu Zhi turned a deaf ear to this, and confirmed to his supervisor that all data and backups had been destroyed. He also asked about his original plan to activate the final defensive measures of the institute, and informed Xu Zhi of a safety exit that had been set up during the original construction.

After confirming everything, Xu Zhi waved his hand, and the little mutants ate all the researchers who had not yet come down.

As soon as these researchers who had landed "safely" showed a little scared joy on their faces when they saw this, the three family members who had been parked quietly next to Xu Zhi suddenly rioted and killed these researchers one after another in an instant.

Xu Zhi, on the other hand, looked at the supervisor with a look of surprise on his face and said, "I swear, I did not do anything, nor did I ask them to do this."

It's just that the family members knew her worries and made such a decision spontaneously. It had nothing to do with her. She did not take action.

As for the supervisor's oath circuit, of course she had tampered with it. How could she really make that kind of oath and let the tiger return home?

The self-destruction program of the research institute was activated again. Xu Zhi called a dog and rode it quickly away from the underground research institute that was about to be destroyed. When leaving, he also used [Moths] to kill all the guards in case anything happened. A fish that slipped through the net.

Less than thirty seconds after returning to the ground, rumbling earthquakes and explosions came from the ground, followed by extraordinary creatures and birds that were startled. Xu Zhi, who was riding on the dog, could feel this. The ground in this area is trembling, and the ground is collapsing, submerging this unknown underground laboratory, and also covering up many secrets that have never been known to the outside world.

Only after confirming that the place was completely submerged, and even opening the [Secret Eye] to detect that there was no trace of any living person, did Xu Zhi turn around and leave.

She thought that so far, perhaps most of the information about this underground laboratory had been carried out according to the "prophecy". The purpose of the person who brought her here was probably to destroy the institute. The only difference was that she probably didn't. He killed Jiang Qing directly, but chose to let her encounter the midnight attack when she was only half-breathed.

Everything discovered in the laboratory made Xu Zhi have some subtle emotions about this "prophecy". She was somewhat glad that she had discovered these and destroyed them, but at the same time, she was worried about whether the person who made the prophecy knew something. , whether it will be detrimental to her.

After getting out, she had to find a way to know who the prophet was.

After leaving the research institute, Xu Zhi planned to go to the middle level of the Lost Land. Once she reached the middle level, the danger would increase, but it was still not dangerous for her. The only thing she needed to pay attention to was that at night, in the middle level, the extraordinary energy concentration contained in the air, with some rare Extraordinary materials and higher-level extraordinary creatures will also appear more frequently. She plans to promote all the dependents except the small alien species to the named level before deciding whether to go deep into the Lost Land or leave temporarily.

While Xu Zhi was raising the level of his family members, the religious group at the bottom of Liancheng City where the spirit body was located finally prepared all the materials and believers needed for the ceremony.

The owner of the factory does not live here, and almost all the management team in the factory are "one of our own", so it is not difficult for believers to make a sacrifice at night.

The security in the surveillance area has long been replaced by believers, and a factory that was originally used as a warehouse has also been evacuated early. A bright red ritual circuit is drawn on the ground with a pigment made of blood mixed with extraordinary materials. One hundred well-preserved blood Food was placed inside the circuit, and fifty believers covered their eyes and plugged their ears with cloths, sitting cross-legged at various nodes of the circuit as living sacrifices.

Xu Zhi controlled the spirit body and walked calmly to the center of the circuit, still wearing the large black cloak and the hood that covered most of his face. Some people looked at her with jealous expressions, but did not dare to say anything more.

It's not like no one has tried to do something to Xu Zhi in the past few days, such as trying to kill her within the scope of minimal impact, but all in vain.

Right now, the matter is a foregone conclusion and no one can say anything more.

"Start when you're ready."

On the surface, as the leader of the sect, that is, the current priest of the sect holds a "doctrine" and leads other believers to stand in the distance and watch Xu Zhi speak.

Xu Zhi had read the teachings and judged it to be a stitched monster made up of copied things. It was used to show off to outsiders. However, this priest was quite good at pretending and kept holding this teachings in his hand all day long.

Seeing that Xu Zhi was ready, he didn't hesitate. He controlled his spiritual body and used a knife to cut his wrist, and blood instantly flowed out and dripped on the bright red circuit.

It stands to reason that as the person in the ceremony loses more blood, the circuit absorbs more blood, slowly igniting the ceremony. But as soon as Xu Zhi's blood dripped down, the circuit began to emit a gleaming brilliance.

Several senior believers who were watching this scene from a distance suddenly looked surprised, and some even murmured: "She is a person favored by the Lord, and she will definitely receive the Lord's gift!"

Hearing this, the faces of several senior believers became even more ugly.

"Why her?"

"Is there anything special about her?"

"Can you plan something special?"

"."

"This is too fast. She just called the Lord and the Lord heard her voice and answered?"

The voices of jealousy kept coming, and as the red light of the ritual circuit became more and more intense, these voices gradually disappeared.

Xu Zhi, who was in the middle of the ceremony, could feel that his thoughts were gradually blurring, as if he was sinking into the sea full of blood. The sounds in his ears became blurred, his eyelids became heavy, and the beating of his heart seemed to slow down.

Then, there was a call and a sense of closeness coming from deep within the body, as if coming from the blood, with a certain majesty and aloofness that made people want to worship, that being whose face could not be seen clearly, and whose voice could not be heard clearly. Xu Zhi said something. Xu Zhi couldn't hear the specific language clearly, but he could feel that it meant satisfaction.

Her emotions couldn't help but rise with excitement and joy, like a child who was praised by her mother.

Such a weird emotion made the main body in the Lost Land frown, but did not intervene, but continued to observe.

The thinking of the spirit body seemed to be completely out of her control. Of course, this was also because Xu Zhi was deliberately indulgent. She did not want to expose any flaws. In her sinking state, she seemed to have received the gift from a high position, and then, a large number of [Cup] attributes Energy suddenly poured into her body, as if the energy was directly infused from her blood.

Her [Cup] attribute circuit seemed to have received some kind of nourishment and began to grow. This circuit looked completely different from Xu Zhi's other two circuits, probably because it occurred naturally.

Soon, her breath broke through again and again, and then she heard the high-ranking being say something again. Xu Zhi understood this sentence, but was also shocked by the content.

[The fog is coming, and the time has come for Lotus City to be destroyed. If you pass the test, you can take charge of Lotus City. 】

Are you serious?

The fog is coming, I should say the bottom layer of fog. After the fog arrives, Liancheng will be destroyed?

test?

What test?

Just when Xu Zhi was thinking, the consciousness of the split spirit body suddenly sank, as if falling from the sea into the sky. A strong sense of weightlessness came, and then suddenly stopped. Before he even realized it, the person had already Standing firmly on the ground.

"Opening" her eyes, she was surprised to find that she was standing in a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

This place seems to be a region, the earth is black, and the sky is scarlet. The charred land is filled with blood-like speech from time to time. The only thing that exists in the entire desolate world is the huge bloody ladder in front of you.

She had seen this ladder before, in the Federation.

However, the ladder at that time was not as grand as the one in front of him, and it did not make Xu Zhi feel such a strong sense of oppression. It seemed that just looking directly at it required a lot of courage.

This is the ladder to climb to become an Archbishop.

Damn it, she qualified as a [Cup] attribute archbishop for the second time.

Could it be that she is also destined to [Cup]?

But the first time I got it was fake, and this time, it seems that it won't be easy to get this qualification.

But if nothing unexpected happens and the former archbishop has not died, then there are now seven archbishops. One of the seven small aliens already occupies one, and she takes away one more. Good guy, two of the seven archbishops are moles.

I have to be more serious now!

Looking at the bloody ladder in front of him, he could feel a sense of oppression just by standing there. Xu Zhi thought for a moment that this sense of oppression should be directed at her spirit and extraordinary energy. As for her body, she was not in this space, and her body was not in this space. Even if the spirit is now divided into two parts, if one part is taken out alone, it is still stronger than an extraordinary person of the same level.

But there is no absolute suppression as a whole, which means that she may have some difficulty facing this ladder.

After getting ready, Xu Zhi walked towards the seemingly very close bloody ladder ahead.

Fortunately, this thing did not seem to be as close as she expected, but it actually took a long time to walk. The ladder did not seem to intend to embarrass anyone in this regard, and she quickly reached the front of the steps.

When I got closer, I realized that the steps of the blood-colored ladder seemed to be made of the finest red gems, and they didn't seem to be dead objects. There seemed to be blood flowing in the flat and bright crimson steps.

Xu Zhi felt that this should be more than just a visual effect.

Sure enough, when she first stepped on the steps, Xu Zhi realized that the touch of the steps was not jade, but like a swamp made of thick blood and minced meat. As soon as she stepped on it, she felt a little soft. But after staying for a while, you will find that it is not only soft to the touch, but her feet are indeed sinking.

Xu Zhi walked several steps in a row, but could not speed up. Instead, he deliberately stayed for a while to feel it, and then found that it was the same at every step.

If nothing changes in the future, it means that she cannot stop on any step to rest before the end of the climb. She must either finish the climb in one go, or fail and be swallowed by the steps.

Her intuition told her that that would not be a good ending.

Xu Zhi looked up at the seemingly endless ladder, exhaled gently, and then began to climb faster.

In the process of going up, there were no obstacles similar to those in the Federation. It seemed that the only obstacle was the swamp of flesh and blood under the feet, but the empty world, the dark sky and the earth, the blood threads constantly pulling under the feet, and even Climbing the ladder to heaven with no end in sight after a long time all wears away people's will.

Xu Zhi kept time in her mind while climbing, and then she realized that in this space, the flow of time became slower.

She seemed to have been crawling in this space for a day and a night, but in reality only less than an hour had passed.

If Xu Zhi didn't have "two selves" at the moment, she wouldn't be able to be so indifferent.

Because she knew that her climbing process was actually not that long in reality, she was able to endure it. If she were someone else and saw that she had climbed for a day and a night, the distance to the sky still seemed to be far away. I am afraid that in her heart A little impetuousness has arisen.

It doesn't seem like there are too many difficulties set, but in fact the far-fetched goal and the sense of urgency that can't stop for a moment are enough to drive people crazy.

"Insidious enough"

The main body complained silently, but the consciousness of the spiritual body was still climbing. As the "stamina" went by, the horror of the steps made of flesh and blood slowly became apparent. She had to use extraordinary energy as a Only with assistance can you lift your tired legs.

Xu Zhi noticed that the spirit body here was much weaker than the one outside. It seemed to be weakened.

Then, she slowly realized that one day and one night was just the beginning.

The long steps seemed to have no end in sight. Her exhausted body and spirit were asking for rest, but the crisis at her feet prevented her from stopping for a moment. Xu Zhi began to feel that her mental power and extraordinary energy were being exhausted, and her body could not directly Even if he could deliver spiritual power and extraordinary energy to his spiritual body, Xu Zhi would not do it.

Stepping up another step with difficulty, even if the sweat was rolling down from his forehead to the ground, Xu Zhi thought that this test was nothing more than that.

She never lacks willpower and resilience.

She has decided on the position of [Cup] Attribute Archbishop.
